Flying Bulls
The Flying Bulls is a private aviation team located in Salzburg, Austria owned by Dietrich Mateschitz, the co-founder of Red Bull. It consists of 13 airplanes and 6 helicopters.[1]
The team was founded by Sigi Angerer, a former Tyrolean Airways pilot, in the 1980s. He purchased a Trojan T-28B and had it repaired in Innsbruck. Shortly afterward, he bought a Grumman G44 Widgeon and half of a Vought F4U-4 Corsair. The other half belonged to Mateschitz, who flew it to Austria.
